Champions League final: trust the trends

We’re set for a high-scoring match

Followers of the stats will see one thing leap off the page at them when running through past finals, and that’s goals are a certainty. We’ve had at least two in each of the last 13 renewals, a run stretching back to Milan’s 0-0 finish with Juve in 2003. Taking this one to fall into line and produce over 2.5 in the total goals market is sure to give a real run for your money, Coral trading a stunning 13/10. That’s worth serious consideration, and looks bet of the day.

Keeping that in mind, both teams have found the net at least once in each of the last six years, taking us from Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Man United in 2011 to Real Madrid’s 1-1 with Atletico last time out. It makes perfect sense to click yes in Coral’s both teams to score coupon at 19/20.

Ronaldo stats are incredible

Remembering Los Blancos have won the European Cup more times than any other side, we take a closer look at each of those 11 titles. Both have scored in seven matches, meaning a play on Real Madrid and Juventus to both find the net on-route to a 12^th gong could be where the smart money goes. 19/4 if putting your trust in that trend.

There’s little surprise to see Ronaldo dominates the scoring charts here, with CR7 getting five goals in the last four meetings between these giants. That really is convincing – is there nothing this man can’t do? We have plenty to give fans of Ronaldo an interest too. Get 7/2 on him scoring first, or 19/20 anytime. There’s 9/1 on the attacker netting a header, or a fantastic 22/1 for him to get on the scoresheet in the first 10 minutes.
